April 13, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Iran, Strait of Hormuz, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Iranian military made a statement on 13 April, accusing Washington of “piracy” while vowing to act “decisively” to control the Strait of Hormuz and secure Iran’s waters. The statement came hours after the US army announced a blockade of Iranian ports. “The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran consider defending the country’s legal rights a natural and lawful duty, and accordingly, exercising sovereignty over our territorial waters is the natural right of the Iranian people. Based on this, ensuring security in Iran’s territorial waters by the Armed Forces will continue decisively,” the Iranian army said.

The Chris Hedges Report: America’s Suez Crisis

April 12, 2026 Chris Hedges, The Chris Hedges Report. Resistance Report Chris Hedges, Iran, Islamabad, Israel, Peace Negotiations, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

The whole world is watching as negotiations begin today in Islamabad, Pakistan between Iran and the United States following an agreement to cease military action for two weeks. The negotiations are based on a ten-point plan outlined by Iran and approved by the United States as a basis for the talks. Israel has not been invited to the negotiations, which are being conducted indirectly and with a great deal of skepticism by the Iranian team. The outcome of these talks will impact the entire global economy and the fate of millions of people in West Asia, six million of whom have already been forcibly displaced by US and Israeli aggression in recent years.

There’s A Wave Of Attacks On The Ruling Class

People have reached a breaking point. American consumer sentiment is terrible, registering at the lowest level ever recorded this week. Gas prices just jumped more in March than they have in any month since 1967. The Iran War was historically unpopular from the beginning, and now the massive economic ripple effects are starting to hit home. And this is just the beginning. The Strait of Hormuz still isn’t open, despite a range of Trump administration lies to the contrary. That means 20-30% of the world’s oil simply isn’t moving. Fertilizer shortages will take months to hit, but they’re likely to hit upwards of 40% of U.S. farmers.

The Twilight Of Western White Power Will Usher In The Dawn Of A New Global Civilization

April 11, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Iran, Israel, Israeli Imperialism, United States, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

I predict that the US will be physically expelled from the region. It is becoming quite clear to the vassal states that have aligned themselves with the US, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, that the US was unable to defend them, and not only unable to defend them, but that they the US, made decisions that clearly appear to prioritize the defense of Israel over them. And so being in alignment with the US, allowing for US bases to exist on in their territory as a result of not only them not being able to be defended, but making them a target. And so there is a real rethinking, if you will, taking place among some of those states.

Ecuador And Colombia Recall Ambassadors And Trade Insults

April 11, 2026 People's Dispatch. Educate! Colombia, Drug War, Ecuador, Military aggression, US Imperialism

Tensions between the South American neighbors show no signs of abating. Days after Colombian President Gustavo Petro called former Ecuadorian vice president Jorge Glas a political prisoner, the government of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced a 100% tariff on all Colombian products entering the country. Colombia’s Minister of Commerce Diana Morales announced on the following day, Friday, April 10, that Colombia would reciprocate with a 100% tariff on Ecuadorian goods. The Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry also requested that the Ecuadorian ambassador to Colombia, Arturo Félix Wong, return to Ecuador as a protest against Petro’s statements, which they deemed “false”.

Against The War Without End

As violence spreads from the Caribbean to Western Asia, the United States and Israel’s war of aggression against Iran is paralysing the global economy. Its consequences were predictable: it was known that if the United States and Israel attacked Iran, the Strait of Hormuz – through which a quarter of global seaborne oil trade passes – would become a chokepoint. With rising oil prices, geopolitical tensions deepen. It feels like little can be done to avert the avalanche of catastrophes that Washington and Tel Aviv have unleashed on the world.

A Weak Left Stands By As Russia Stands Up For Cuban Sovereignty

April 3, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Energy, Russia, The Left, US Imperialism

Donald Trump recently bragged that he was “on a roll” after kidnapping President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela and beginning the process of turning that country into a U.S. vassal state. Venezuela was the first domino to fall and the U.S. planned for Cuba to be next. An important part of this strategy was to end Venezuelan oil shipments to Cuba, along with threats of lawfare indictments against Cuban leadership as was done against Maduro, and demands that President Miguel Diaz-Canel step down. Already weakened by 67 years of unilateral coercive measures and the imposition of a State Sponsor of Terrorism Status, which increased the economic damage of the U.S. maximum pressure campaign, Cuba was in great danger.

US Imperialism And The Hubris Of White ‘Supremacy’ Ideology

April 2, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Capitalism, US Empire, US Imperialism, White Supremacy

Last week, New York Times columnist Carlos Lozada in a piece entitled, Pax Americana, Meet Lax Americana, remarked, “We had a good run - some eight decades or so - but it’s clear now that the United States has ceased to be the leader of the free world.” Who exactly Mr. Lozada meant by “we” is a subject for another time - but I would argue that “we” certainly does not refer to the masses of poor and working class Black, Brown, Indigenous and white folk who have little to do with the barbaric and draconian imperialist and neo-colonial machinations of the U.S. empire in the same way that developing nations have little to do with the profligate greenhouse gas emissions driving and exacerbating the climate crisis.

The Weight On Delcy Rodriguez

April 2, 2026 Craig Murray. Educate! Delcy Rodriguez, Kidnapping, US Imperialism, US Intervention, Venezuela

Almost everything you are told in the West about Venezuela is untrue, and the biggest lie is that Machado, Guaidó and the groupings around them are in any sense democrats or liberal. They are not, and have direct family and political links to the murderous CIA-sponsored regimes of the pre-Chávez years. They also have many scores to settle – Machado’s family, to give just one example, dominated the electricity supply before it was nationalised. A very large number of the “political prisoners” the West is so concerned about, were involved in efforts at military coup or violent insurrection, of which Guaidó’s comic opera attempt in 2019 was only the most publicised.

Amnesty International Defends US Regime-Change NGOs

April 1, 2026 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Amnesty International, Cuba, Human Rights, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), Nicaragua, Nonprofits, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Weaponization

Why are many Latin American countries shutting down nonprofit organizations? Amnesty International claims it has the answer: in every case, it’s part of a drive to restrict human rights and “tear up the social fabric.” Amnesty’s new 95-page report (in Spanish, with an English summary), criticizes governments across the political spectrum for attacking what it calls “civil society organizations.” But Amnesty ignores the history of many such organizations and therefore why governments might be justified in closing them. Here we focus on the report’s deficiencies in relation to Nicaragua, Venezuela (two NGOs interviewed in each) and Cuba (none).

The Commune And Popular Sovereignty In Times Of Imperialist Siege

March 30, 2026 Cira Pascual Marquina , Orinoco Tribune. Resist! Communes, Economic Blockade, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

I write these lines at a particularly difficult moment for Venezuelan sovereignty. The imperialist attack of January 3 and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and Congresswoman Cilia Flores marked a new escalation in an aggression that now spans more than twenty-six years against the Bolivarian Revolution. This is not an isolated episode. It is a new chapter in a broad and multifaceted strategy aimed at taking away the Venezuelan people and government’s power of decision and, ultimately, reversing the political path inaugurated in 1999.

Structures Of The Imperialist Assault On Iran

March 26, 2026 Hanna Eid, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Axis of Resistance, Iran, Israel, US Imperialism

After the martyrdom of Hajj Qassem Soleimani in 2020, an Iranian cleric made a tongue in cheek remark that Iranians would need to kill Spongebob in order to achieve an equal revenge for the brutal murder of one of the main architects of the entire Axis of Resistance’s military capabilities. The comment, now in the light of the assassination of Seyyed Ali Khamenei, rings true beyond its memetic qualities. The leaders in Iran are statesmen, religious leaders, and scholars, the stature of which do not exist in the United States; Ali Larijani, for example, had written four books on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.

Few Nations In The World Have Faced A War On All Fronts As Cuba Has

March 25, 2026 Oriol Sabata, Struggle - La Lucha. Resist! Cuba, Hybrid War, Revolution, US Imperialism

In Cuba this week, the crisis has intensified—one that, in my view, has been ongoing for one or two years now. I have been living on the island for three years, and for the past two or two and a half years, I have observed how power outages occur daily or nearly daily, even in Havana, where they are less frequent than in the rest of the provinces, which gives a real sense of the severity of the energy problem. Although the United States has been actively pursuing a policy to destabilize the Cuban people since the early 1960s—beginning with Lester Mallory’s memorandum, which proposed creating material shortages to provoke the people into rebelling against their government—the truth is that this crisis has intensified with each successive administration.

How To Judge Whether An Economy ‘Works’

March 25, 2026 Jim Stanford, Rabble.ca. Educate! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Gross Domestic Product, US Imperialism

Undeterred by the global catastrophe unleashed by its attacks on Iran, the U.S. government announced yet further economic actions against Cuba last week. Since its military intervention in Venezuela, the U.S. has illegally blocked oil shipments from any country to Cuba. That has caused electricity blackouts, blocked tourism (including by the one million Canadians who visit there each year), caused immeasurable economic damage, and now endangers the lives of dialysis patients and others. Now the U.S. is blackmailing other Latin American countries to expel Cuban medical experts who have long worked abroad –where they generate needed foreign earnings for Cuba, as well as supporting health care services in poorer countries.

Why Big Tech Is A Target In The US-Israeli War On Iran

March 24, 2026 Jamal Meselmani, The Cradle. Strategize! Big Tech, Iran, Israel, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism

In traditional wars, armies directed their firepower toward visible strategic assets – military bases, weapons factories, airfields – where supply lines could be mapped and battle plans drawn with relative certainty. Combat effectiveness depended on numbers, firepower, and tactical maneuver. Today, however, the logic of war has shifted beyond the physical battlefield. Over the past two decades, the digital revolution has built a second layer of strategic infrastructure behind the front lines, quietly transforming how power is projected and how wars are fought.
